What would you love to say 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in the four areas where humans actually do 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 create results? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We live in a spiral universe.[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In a spiral there's an ever upward pole[br]of becomingness. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 A little blade of grass feels it as it [br]presses through cement to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 become more of its self today than [br]yesterday 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 A tree presses to the edges of itself[br]to become more of its self[br]today than yesterday 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And humans feel the same thing, [br]we just feel a little differently 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We feel it through longing[br]and we feel through discontent 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We feel a longing for greater freedom. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We feel a discontent with[br]certain circumstances and situations. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And if we just keep breathing another[br]365 days,we will create results. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Because that's what humans do. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Now we create results in four areas. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We create results in health and well-being 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 You could look at your results in health[br]and well-being 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but what would you love a year from now? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Because if you keep breathing you're going[br]to have results in that area. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Humans create results in relationships.[br]Some of them are wonderful, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 some of them are deep, some of them[br]are supportive, some of them are not. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 What would you love [br]in the area of your relationships? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Would you love to bring that someone[br]special in your life? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Would you like to transform a relationship[br]you are in? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Maybe a relationship is on an auto-pilot[br]and you'd love to have it go deeper 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Humans create results in vocation. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 What we do with our time and talent. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Whether we earned income doing it or not. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Because just by our beingness we're doing[br]something with our time and talent. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Even if we think we've done so many[br]mistakes and want to go under the covers 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 What I create that day is "Covers over my[br]head day in bed" 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I don't get to not create out of my[br]experience 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And humans create results in time and[br]money, freedom or constraint 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So if you think about next year when we[br]come to the reunion 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 What would you love to be saying?[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 You know in my calendar the last twelve[br]months here are the evidences 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 More freedom for me and time 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 More freedom for me in the economic[br]freedom 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 where I could go where I wanted to go,[br]do what I wanted to do 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but maybe even more importantly[br]and I believe it is 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 actually give to the things that matter[br]to you 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 provide some of the things for those that[br]matter to you as well 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Now...about fourty years ago 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I got very interested in transformation 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I was getting my undergraduate degree 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I cared deeply about kids 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This has been a longing of mine for[br]quite a while to become a school teacher 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And while I was getting my undergraduate[br]degree I wanted to study everything 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I could in the field of transformation 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And the purpose at that point was to help[br]children discover a kind of self-esteem 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So no matter what their circumstances,[br]no matter what their situations 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They could actually believe that they[br]could actually become the person 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they wanted to be and achieve the things[br]they wanted to achieve 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I went on a got a graduate degree in
